Red Lobster

It was good but service was taking forever, but they may have be understaffed; not sure. The server didn't know that a particular special was actually running. Pretty decent but still nothing extraordinary. That sauce for the coconut shrimp is extremely sweet and I'm a guy with a permanent sweet tooth. Lol

All the food except the salad was good. My salad had what appeared to be the bottom of the bag of croutons. Just a big pile of crumbs under the croutons. The onion was also not peeled properly I took a party of 11 to celebrate my wife’s and a grandson’s birthdays. First I was told they could not take a party of that size and turned to walk away I had to stop the person and try to negotiate to be seated at 2 tables. After 10 minutes of negotiations including getting the manager started involved I was told ok but that the wait would not be the current 20 minutes, instead it would be 45 min. I was fine with the wait and understood the kitchen staff shortage issue. What I did not understand was the attitude of being more than happy to turn me and my party away. I saw at least 10 couples and families turned away in similar fashion while we waited Once seated the staff was good and took care of us even though it was clear they were understaffed Other than the negotiation to be seated and the salad we had a good meal

The food was delicious for a good price and good serving size, now what i dislike about the restaurant is the check in waiting time for 30 min when lots of tables are empty inside! When I'm hungry and you have tables i wanna get seated to order and start eating within 20 min of walking in the door, wait 30 min to get seated and another 45 to get served, no thanks, i also did a reservation just to get called to be told they don't work with reservations you have to walk in check in and wait.

🦞"Tasty Seafood, but the sides SUCK!"🦀 Besides the server taking forever, the food was pheneomenal; except the sauce on the Mariners Feast or coleslaw (outdated and old.) Oh, and the roasted Brussel sprouts. Yuck!🤢 My favorite was the scallops! Absolutely delicious! The lobster artichoke dip was on point. 🦞Lobster tail with that butter sauce 🧈 was finger licking good a bit small I must say! The quinoa rice needs more quinoa, but not crunchy so pretty tasty... 🦐Shrimp was excellent, perfectly cooked!🍤 It's a bit over priced for what you get personally! **The berry sangria was worth it though!🍹 P.S. LOVE THOSE FREE CHEDDER BISCUITS!!!🧀

There was a 90 minute wait and when we were sat at a table the service was on the slower side. I believe they may have been short staffed, so I won't fault our waitress for that experience. Our waitress was very nice and helpful. I rated four stars due to the condition of the floors, they were covered in table scraps and papers, including crab claws, which detracted a bit from the atmosphere. The food came out hot and was delicious.
